  1. RadioSense: Exploiting Wireless Communication Patterns for Body Sensor Network Activity Recognition Xin Qi, Gang Zhou, Yantao Li, GePeng College of William and Mary RTSS 2012

  2. Background - Activity Recognition Fall Detection • Activity Recognitionaims to automatically recognize user actions from the patterns (or information) observed on user actions with the aid of computational devices. Sleeping Assessment Depression Detection RTSS 2012

  3. Sensing-based Activity Recognition • Problem setting Accelerometer Gyroscope Temperature Light etc. Running, Walking, Sitting, … Sensing Data RTSS 2012

  4. A Dilemma – On One Hand • Sensing data transmission suffers body fading Accuracy decreased √ Incomplete data RTSS 2012

  5. A Dilemma – On the Other Hand • To increase data availability • Increase transmission power Consequences: Increase energy overheads Increase privacy risks Transmission Range RTSS 2012

  6. A Dilemma – On the Other Hand • To increase data availability • Using complicated MAC protocols Consequence: Increase energy overheads for retransmissions Many existing works propose new MAC protocols to improve packet delivery performance in body sensor network. √ However, the impermeability of human body is a large obstacle for transmission efficiency. RTSS 2012

  7. The Idea and Research Question • Idea • As it is difficult to overcome the impermeability of human body, can we utilize it? • It is reasonable to imagine diff. activities have diff. patterns of packet loss and fading, which we call communication patterns. • We use communication pattern for recognizing activities. • Research questions • How to endow the communication pattern with enough discriminative capacity for recognizing diff. activities? • What are the impacts of using communication pattern for AR on other system performance issues, such as energy and privacy? RTSS 2012

  8. Communication Pattern • Radio as sensor PDR = Packet Delivery Ratio RSSI = Received Signal Strength Indicator Node 1 Aggregator more nodes PDR 1 RSSI Feature Set 1 PDR 2 RSSI Feature Set 2 … Node 2 Communication Pattern RTSS 2012

  9. Factors Influencing the Discriminative Capacity of Communication Patterns • Communication patterns • PDR • Influencing factor: transmitting power • RSSI features • Influencing factors: transmitting power, packet sending rate • A common influencing factor: smoothing window size – length of time window for extracting features • How to optimize the above system parameters: • Through benchmarking RTSS 2012

  10. RadioSense – a Prototype System Two on-body sensor nodes Send simple packets to base station Packet::NodeId Base station Aggregator logs communication pattern during both training and runtime phases RTSS 2012

  11. Data Collection • Aim to find insightful relationship between recognition accuracy and system parameters – one subject’s data • Mixing multi-subjects’ data may blur the relationship • 7 activities: running, sitting, standing, walking, lying down, cycling and cleaning • 4-activity set: running, sitting, standing, walking • 6-activity set: 4-activity set + lying down and cycling • 7-activity set: 6-activity set + cleaning • Transmission (TX) power level: 1~5 (maximum: 31) • Packet sending rate: 1-4 pkts/s • Totally 20 combinations, we choose 9 of them • Under each combination, each activity is performed for 30 minutes in diff. places (lab, classroom, living room, gym, kitchen, and outdoor) RTSS 2012

  12. SVM as Classifier • SVM plus RBF kernel • Use feature selection algorithm to select optimal features • Follow 10-fold cross validation routine to obtain accuracy RTSS 2012

  13. TX Power Level • Accuracy first increases, then decreases Packet Sending Rate = 4pkts/s, Smooth Window= 9 seconds TX power PDR’s discriminative capacity RSSI features discriminative capacity RTSS 2012

  14. TX Power Level • The variation of PDR features’ discriminative capacity • Human body’s height is limited • At lowest TX power level, PDR is low for all activities, less discriminative • As TX power increases, clear PDR difference for activities • As TX power keeps increasing, PDR distributions become similar • The variation of RSSI features’ discriminative capacity More discriminative at lower power level RTSS 2012

  15. TX Power Level • Quantify PDR’s discriminative capacity Metric – Average KL Divergence over all activity pairs KLD: small value = similar; large value = different most discriminative highest accuracy RTSS 2012

  16. Optimize TX Power Level • Average KLD quantifies the discriminative capacity of PDR • When PDR is most discriminative, the highest accuracy is achieved • Thus, RadioSense uses average KLD as a metric to select the optimal TX power level for accuracy. • The TX power level with largest average KLD is selected Average KLD accuracy RTSS 2012

  17. Packet Sending Rate & Smoothing Window Size Accuracy increases with higher packet sending rate Higher packet sending rate captures more information for RSSI variations Accuracy increases with larger smoothing window size TX Power Level = 2, Smooth Window= 9 seconds Features extracted from larger smoothing window are more robust to noise TX Power Level = 2, packet sending rate = 4 pkts/s RTSS 2012

  18. Optimize Packet Sending Rate& Smoothing Window Size • Packet sending rate balances energy overhead and accuracy • Smoothing window size balances latency and accuracy • Rules for packet sending rate optimization: • At optimal TX power level, from 1 pkts/s, RadioSense selects ipkts/s if: • i achieves 90% accuracy • i>4, accuracy improvement of i+1<2% • Rules for smoothing window size optimization: • At optimal TX power level and packet sending rate, RadioSense selects i seconds if: • i achieves 90% accuracy • i>10 seconds, accuracy improvement of i+1<2% RTSS 2012

  19. Amount of Training Data • Average accuracy of three subject with different amount of training data • 10-minute data is enough for stable accuracy With 8 seconds as smoothing window size 75 instances of each activity in the training set RTSS 2012

  20. RadioSense Recap • In training phase, we design RadioSense to bootstrap the system following the steps below: Optimize TX Power Level 10-minute training data for each activity Optimize Packet Sending Rate Optimize Smoothing Window Size Trained Classifier RTSS 2012

  21. Up to Now • We have answered … • How to endow the communication pattern with enough discriminative capacity for recognizing diff. activities? • In the evaluation, we will answer… • What are the impacts of using communication pattern for AR on other system performance issues, such as energy and privacy? RTSS 2012

  22. Evaluation – Data Collection • 3 subjects • 7 activities - running, sitting, standing, walking, lying, riding and cleaning • Different places - lab, classroom, living room, gym, kitchen, and outdoor • During training phase • Each subject performs activities for system parameter optimization • With the optimal parameters, for each activity, each subject collects 10-minute data for training and 30-minute data for testing • Lasts for two weeks • One classifier for each subject RTSS 2012

  23. Evaluation – System Parameter Optimization • Average KLD Table • Parameter optimization results Subject 3 is smaller than the other two RTSS 2012

  24. Evaluation – Accuracy and Latency Most single activity achieves 90% accuracy 86.2%, 92.5%, 84.2% Ave. KLD: 13.18, 20.79, 12.90 Ave. KLD is a validated metric Most single activity achieves 0.8 precision Average latency: 9.16s, 6.46s, 7.12s RTSS 2012

  25. Evaluation – Battery Lifetime and Privacy • Battery lifetime – for each subject’s optimal system parameters • 3 Tmotes with new batteries (AA, Alkaline, LR6, 1.5V) • Run RadioSense until batteries die • 159.3 hours, 168.7 hours, 175.3 hours • Privacy Packet::NodeId Lower TX power and smaller communication range Privacy risks are reduced! Minimal power level for 90% PDR, [Mobicom ’09] RTSS 2012

  26. Evaluation - Potential of Coexistence with Other On-body Sensor Nodes • RadioSense- two dedicated on-body sensor nodes, right wrist and ankle, with optimal parameters • Two general purpose on-body sensor nodes, left wrist and ankle, TX power level 7, packet sending rate 4 pkts/s • One subject, for each activity, 10-minute training data, 30-minute testing data • For general purpose nodes: • PDR: 98.0%, 95.6% • In good condition [Sensys ’08], since interference from RadioSense nodes is low • For RadioSense nodes: • Accuracy: 90.8% (with other nodes), 86.3% (without other nodes) • Communication contention with other on-body nodes may amplify the discriminative capacity of communication pattern RTSS 2012

  27. Related Work • Using RSSI values for activity recognition • Only recognize simple activities, such as sitting and standing • Do not optimize system parameters such as TX power level for accuracy • Using RSSI values for other applications • Localization • Radio tomography for human indoor motion tracking RTSS 2012

  28. Limitations • Strong background noises • Sensing-based approaches will also fail in such case because of high packet loss. • Not Scalable for new activities • It is a common problem for AR system using supervised learning method • Current system is a little bit clunky • In future, we may replace the aggregator with smartphone; energy issues RTSS 2012

  29. Conclusion • RadioSense, a prototype system demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing wireless communication pattern for BSN activity recognition. • We reveal that wireless communication pattern: • is most discriminative at low TX power • reduced privacy risk and energy efficiency • prefers packet loss • packet loss boosts accuracy rather than undermines it • results in MAC layer and device simplicity • no requirement for complicated MAC protocol and various sensors; only needs low power radio • allows the coexistence of both RadioSense and other on-body sensor nodes • communication contention with other on-body nodes may amplify its discriminative capacity RTSS 2012
